A 15 year old in Ohio played 4 straight days on his Xbox 360 before collapsing and getting sent to the hospital for dehydration. His aunt found him acting like a zombie, “It’s like he was looking at me but he wasn’t there. It was like he was looking through me.” The only time the teenager stopped playing was when he used the restroom and grabbed some snacks.
The game he was playing was Modern Warfare 3.
Now here are 2 things that makes me wonder if the story is true:
1) 4 days of Xbox 360 and no red ring of death? This story must be an ad from Microsoft.
2) If it was for the original Modern Warfare I can understand why he played it for 4 days straight, but MW 3? What a loser!!

Where are the parents? Guardians? I ask because i know that certain groups will use this to protest games and such. Sounds like the kid is an idiot anyways.
Im not the sharpest tool in the shed, but even i know after a couple hours to get up and take a break.
